The headquarters of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD) has proposed to spend N15,322,424,894 on projects that do not seem to tally with the scope of its functions.
The projects also seem to conflict with the duties of other Ministries, Department and Agencies (MDAs).
A breakdown of the projects indicate that the ministry intends to spend N1,716,430,615 or an estimate of N1.7 billion on nine erosion and water channelisation projects across the country.
The 2018 Appropriation Act gives the ministry the go-ahead to use N10,771,416,308 or an estimated N10.8 billion on the provision of solar lights in various local government areas and senatorial districts.
